Chapter 395: If You Don't Lose Money, You Can Still Make Money?
"Much, how much? Twenty carts of copper coins? My God......" Cheng Yanjin was completely stunned, how could he never have imagined that the little princess would be reimbursed for the money he spent? What's even more unexpected is that Her Royal Highness the little princess will have so many copper coins?
Cheng Yanjin didn't know how much Chang'an City's treasury was, but he knew that if so many copper coins were transported to the treasury, then the treasury officials would definitely be able to faint.
"Haha, general, with so many copper coins, the problem will be solved, and it's a big deal to compensate the people for the price increase." A general suggested with a smile.
Cheng Zhijie didn't speak, but frowned and thought.
Xu Jingzong said loudly: "No! This money, Her Royal Highness the Little Princess clearly said, is for General Cheng of the Right Guard, but there is no share of other places. If the compensation price here is raised, then the people of other states and roads will inevitably cry out for injustice, how can the imperial court's disaster relief and aftermath be unjust? In this way, it will be difficult for other generals to do things. ”
"Ahem, the last general was sloppy......" Lao Cheng glared at his subordinates fiercely, and the man hurriedly apologized.
"Xu Changshi, what do you think of this problem? I've issued a military order to the people, and it will be resolved within three days, you have to help! Lao Cheng said very sincerely.
Xu Jingzong said confidently: "Simple, what the people want is nothing more than chickens, ducks or eggs." Now there are no chickens and ducks in the local area, so the duty of the right military guard to supervise is temporarily over. You can free up your hands to go out and pour chickens, ducks or eggs.
Those merchants sold it remotely, and they raised the price. Then if our right Wuwei sells it from other places, it will be sold at the original price without increasing the price. All the money and grain consumed are calculated separately according to the marching grain and grass, so why should the people complain about the lack of compensation? ”
"Right Wuwei is going to do business?" Cheng Yanjin began to scratch his head, "It's not that it can't, but, but such a group of big bosses, the accounts can't be calculated, I'm afraid that if they go to do business, they will lose so much that they don't have any bottoms left." ”
"Hahahaha, general, everyone is the right military guard, after it is spread to the people, as long as you don't disturb the people, don't oppress the good and skillfully take it, it's not bad, who dares to deceive the right military guard? Don't want to live anymore? Xu Jingzong's words woke up the people in the dream, and everyone thought so.
Cheng Yanjin also laughed heartily, "Clever plan, not only to solve the problem, but also to exercise the right Wuwei's ability to march and transport food, Xu Changshi is worthy of being a talent of Zaifu, thank you Lao Cheng." Come, inform the kitchen to prepare, and the general will have a banquet today......"
"General Cheng, follow me to pick up the copper coins first, it's not good to stop on the street all the time. And this money can just be used as the start-up capital for the right Wuwei to do business. ”
Yuzhou is worried about eggs, ducks and eggs, but I don't know that the small pockets on the front line are also worried, and the front line is worried not because of the lack of them, but because there are too many, and there are eggs and ducks everywhere.
It's not everywhere, after a big war, chickens, ducks and geese are full, and they are naturally diligent in laying eggs, one egg a day. Hundreds of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese lay eggs, and the women's army only drove chickens, ducks and geese back to the camp every day, but they were left to pick up eggs everywhere.
"Your Royal Highness Little Princess, what can I do about this? The soldiers ate eggs at once, everyone was about to vomit, and they really couldn't eat anymore, so you loosen your mouth and let us eat some military rations...... It's really not good, it's allowed to boil some grass root bark or something privately, and it's okay to satisfy your cravings. The duck eggs were eaten to the top, and the fishy smell was so greasy that I wanted to vomit when I saw the chickens and ducks! The women's army horse Sambo complained.
Niu Jinda scolded: "Damn, all of them are used to it!" In the past, when the army was marching, not to mention eggs, even the stiff flax cakes were extravagant hopes, but now it is good, and the eggs are enough, but they still complain? ”
Ma Sanbao defended: "General Niu, you can't say that, you are eating with His Royal Highness King Qin in the handsome tent, it may not be clear." So, let's change tonight? The last general will get a pot of goose eggs, which will be boiled and sent to them later. ”
"! Lao Tzu can't eat it, don't you think Shuai Tent eats eggs? I also vomited when I ate the old cow! Niu Jinda scolded and walked out of the tent, and his embarrassed appearance was simply an escape.
Li Yuanying said with a smile: "Sanbao, order everyone, from tonight onwards, don't eat eggs, and eat military rations instead." The remaining eggs, as well as the eggs collected in the future, are all loaded, and when the smell dissipates tomorrow, they can be shipped back to Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an will definitely welcome it. ”
Xiao Doudou chuckled: "So many eggs, hahaha, if you sell them all, the money from them will be more than the ones I gave to the bearded uncle." I really didn't expect that coming out to fight not only did not lose money, but also made money, tsk, it's a pity that the locusts were wiped out so quickly without fighting. ”
Yes, the mighty locust plague that makes people smell the wind and change their complexion has been wiped out in just ten days? And I didn't even get to Chang'an, so it was a little unbelievably fast. In the Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Er was also wondering.
Li Yuanying came back to report on his work, so efficient, the commander of Princess Ping'an Xiaodoudou should be rewarded, what can be rewarded? Baiguan couldn't think about it, if he continued to improve the princess level, he would be at the same level as the eldest princess, absolutely not.
In the end, Xiao Doudou was refreshing, he didn't care about any reward or not, and said, this time it's so fun, and if there is such a fun thing in the future, the second uncle will hand it over to me. It seems that there is just such an agreement with the emperor.
Watching her daughter happily ride a lion away from the Taiji Hall and go to the harem to play, Li Yuanying said her opinion, "This locust plague is really fierce, and it is a fluke to win." It seems like a good thing, but it is not necessarily! It did not serve the purpose of military training. ”
Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed: "What the prince said is good, the ten days to eradicate the locust plague are completely because of the talent of Her Royal Highness the little princess, as well as the prince's clever methods. This time it happened in Longyou and Guanzhong, close to Chang'an. If there is a locust plague on other state roads in the future, the distance is too far for Chang'an to reach, and the prince and princess can't get out? After all, it is necessary to study a set of mature locust relief strategies that are applicable to all localities! ”
At this moment, Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, stood up, "What King Qin and Fang Xiang said is very true. However, Weichen thinks that this locust plague has been extinguished, so the prevention of future locust plagues can be discussed later, or tomorrow. The current thing cannot be delayed for a moment! ”
"Oh? What did Hyun Sung say? Li Er asked curiously.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the Imperial Historical Observatory, during the disaster relief process, there were many incidents of arson and looting in the Right Guard, and the impact was extremely vicious, so the old minister indulged in His Majesty and impeached the General Cheng Zhijie of the Right Guard, and he should be punished according to the law!" Wei Zheng said loudly.
Niu Jinda stood up and shouted, "Old man Wei, what did you say? General Cheng has properly dealt with the aftermath and calmed down the people's complaints, and the local people all praise it, you are slandering! ”
The women's army and horse Sanbao also stood up and said: "Yes, Wei Xiang, the big war is imminent, and the matter is urgent." Her Royal Highness the Little Princess, who is the commander, has already dealt with this matter, and General Cheng has made up for his mistakes, not intentionally. Even if there are some flaws, the merits and demerits can be offset. ”
Wei Zheng bit his heart, "Offset the merits and demerits? For the sake of fighting on the front line, you can barbarize and plunder? How can this be true? This is not a battlefield to kill the enemy against external aliens, but a government affair for the people at home. The people can forgive General Cheng's recklessness, but the court can't waste the law, otherwise how can we show that my decree is fair and just?
General Cheng Da has made meritorious contributions to the control of locusts, and he can be rewarded in the army. However, if there is a case of governing the people, the DPRK and China should be punished, and they should not be confused. ”
"Your Majesty......" Niu Jinda and other subordinates pleaded with Li Er, who was on the throne of the court.
